That was the version I tried first and convinced me that I'd get the Esprit. The deal I got on the 2 'bucker Esprit V was too good to turn down. I'd definitely love to get an Esprit III to go with it.
Really nice guitars there Stevie. That Esprit is a fascinating beast - might have to try one of those out! Are you still thinking about putting single coils in the Legacy?

Yeah, I've been totally bowled over by it. I've always been a 'Fender' player, and have had minor issues when trying to play Gibson-type guitars (purely my own playing style, rather than the guitars). I've been gassing for about 2 years for something that would give me a mahogany/humbucker option, but that I could get my hands around. The Esprit has been perfect for that, and as my playing style is now more comfortable playing an instrument outside a Fender blueprint I feel much more comfortable when I try out Gibsons. I loved a Gibson Les Paul 60's Tribute I tried recently, and gas for that has been bubbling under!
